1. Confusion

- The functional system is quite complicated to put into operation, especially when it is carried out at low levels. Therefore, co- ordination becomes difficult.

2. Lack of Co- ordination

- Disciplinary control becomes weak as a worker is commanded not by one person but a large number of people. Thus, there is no unity of command.

3. Difficulty in fixing responsibility

- Because of multiple authority, it is difficult to fix responsibility.

4. Conflicts

- There may be conflicts among the supervisory staff of equal ranks. They may not agree on certain issues.

5. Costly

- Maintenance of specialist's staff of the highest order is expensive for a concern.
